Market Study: Urea

Introduction

The market research institute Ceresana forecasts market value of the worldwide urea market to increase to around US$96 billion in 2019 at dynamic growth rates. Growing population increases the demand for foodstuffs. As less acreage is dedicated to crop cultivation, yield per hectare has to be increased. Therefore, more urea is used as fertilizer. Ceresana Research forecasts urea demand to rise at an average annual rate of 3.2% over the next years.Asia-Pacific already is the largest sales market for urea, accounting for almost two thirds of total demand, followed by North America. In the next eight years, Asia-Pacific will gain additional market shares. Market researchers at Ceresana expect populous countries such as China and India to expand their position in the worldwide urea market.Changes in regional demand will also have an effect on the production structure of manufacturers. The global urea capacity of approximately 184 million tonnes is anticipated to be expanded by 71 million tonnes in 2019. Almost 50% of these new capacities will be built in the Asia-Pacific region. Another major producing region is the Middle East, due to a number of natural gas resources that offer ideal conditions for production.This worldwide most comprehensive report analyzes how the use of urea in agriculture on one hand and industry on the other will develop. A large part of urea consumption takes place in agriculture, where it is used as fertilizer. Industry mainly utilizes urea for producing urea-formaldehyde resins and melamine. Innovative application area with dynamic growth is the reduction of nitrogen by the urea solution AdBlue, which is used in utility vehicles in Western Europe in particular.Given the increased application of AdBlue in industrialized countries, their urea demand is likely to increase in the following years. Development in the agricultural sector, on the other hand, is mainly supported by developing and emerging countries, as Ceresana expects a rapid growth in population and more intensive cultivation of arable land.

The Study in Brief:

Chapter 1 is a short and concise overview over the most important information on the different types of urea, its production, characteristics, raw materials, application areas, environmental and health aspects as well as legal situation.

Chapter 2 provides a presentation and analysis of the urea market - including forecasts up to 2019: Demand, revenues, and production are explained in detail. Moreover, you will gain insight into the development of individual regions and global market dynamics.
